Chapter 130: Cannon Fodder
"..."
Standing outside the city gates, gazing at the brand-new, towering walls, Wang Lin could not help but feel dazed. A few years ago, he had been driven out of the capital. Back then, the capital was not Chang'an, but Pingcheng. To return to the capital and reclaim the center of power, Wang Lin had schemed and strived, paying an unknown price. Now that he had finally returned, everything had changed. Wang Lin had no deep impression of this new city of Chang'an.
"The pedestrian street. I'm driving over there now," Xu Huinan said while grabbing his coat and keys, heading out the door.
Xu Mo was now moving with steady, calculated steps. Unable to topple Zhao Xiaochen yet, he began by plucking away those around him. When he had rescued these players from the inner city of S City, it was agreed that in exchange for their lives, they would join his X City and serve his cause. Now, it remained to be seen if they still remembered that promise.
Without a second thought, he tied the livestock to a nearby tree and carried Red Parrot Niang on his back, running toward the village clinic. Upon arrival, the barefoot doctor examined her and, seeing the bleeding, sensed the gravity of the situation, advising him to rush her to the county hospital immediately.
After Aoxue and Xu Huinan returned home, Aoxue reverted to the state she had been in before her parents arrived. She sprawled on the sofa as if boneless, doing absolutely nothing.
"Not making pancakes! Not making them! I won't do it, not even if you kill me. We're having soybean paste noodles!" Red Parrot shook her head like a rattle, her attitude firm and leaving no room for negotiation.
Lin did not know why he had suddenly lost his mind. What did "let's get married" even mean? Was he offering his body? It was utterly moronic, a new low in embarrassment.
The Dayan Mountain Range, supported by ten thousand years of spiritual energy from the Dayan Immortal Mansion, possessed a richness far exceeding most blessed lands. Even compared to sects like the Red Flame Grotto-Heaven, it was likely not inferior in the slightest.
When this was mentioned, everyone lowered their heads; the implication was clear—this was all that remained of them.
Everyone's gaze was drawn to the monkey's strange laughter. Could there be another super expert?
Just then, Mu Xianjun's voice came from behind Nalan Dingdong. He was being carried on Yi Tianze's shoulder and still looked extremely weak.
High above, Jiang Feng watched the scene below. He had arrived just as Wu Yunfei and the others were leaving. He had originally intended to follow them, but upon sensing Atchison, he suddenly came up with an idea and trailed him instead.
"Yuanfang, what is it?" Magistrate Di, Commander Pei, and several Great Wall patrol soldiers rushed over at the sound.
Hei Wuji dodged, but the hook only caught the contract stone behind him, and no matter how he pulled, he couldn't retrieve it. Hei Wuji was feeling smug, unaware that hundreds, perhaps thousands of people, had already surrounded him.
Bo Hanye’s thin lips were pressed into a tight line. He wanted nothing more than to strangle the person before him, resolving that if he dared to speak another word, he would execute him on the spot.
From Gu Ran's perspective, the surroundings suddenly turned into a vast, blinding white, and he could see nothing. When his eyes refocused, he found himself already inside a room.
"In your dreams!" Gu Ran threw a kunai. Obito frowned; he had no choice but to stop Kamui and phase a part of his body into the Kamui dimension to achieve intangibility. The kunai flew past and landed on the ground not far away.
Zhang Danian patted Lao Liu on the shoulder, signaling him to take a break, and took over the pilot's seat. He began to maneuver the fishing boat, which rocked and swayed so violently that it felt as though it could be capsized by a giant wave at any moment.
The cry made us all freeze in our tracks. A short while later, three more gunshots rang out, sounding even louder in the underground space. Furthermore, the shots were close by, but the zigzagging layout of the tomb chamber made it difficult to pinpoint their origin.
"Young Master, aren't you going to the company?" she asked uneasily. In truth, she did not want the Young Master to drive her.
